Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.
No one wants to receive from someone who is giving unwillingly because it doesn’t truly feel like receiving whatever is being offered. If you know you can only give 30 minutes of your time willingly and we need 2 hours, it’s better to give 30 than to give 3 hours with an unwilling heart. Otherwise, you might end up damaging the work or not doing it as needed, since only 30 minutes of your 3 hours is done wholeheartedly; for the remaining time, you will just be dragging yourself to do it under compulsion. What do we have today?
2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV): “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Allow me to say that “cheerful givers” get the work done. That’s why, at times, we struggle to complete tasks; we work with people who are reluctant, making it seem as if they are forced to perform the work.
Takeaway: Are you a cheerful giver? In all aspects of your life, not just with money. Conduct a self-inventory today.
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
